Summary
The one thing you have to remember if you are dealing with either a toxic sibling, or a parent, or both is that, in the end, they are narcissists. That means they are in it for themselves, that they want and need to see themselves as your superior and that they will do some evil things to you to maintain that illusion. It’s simply who and what they are, and you cannot change them.
On the other hand, you can change yourself. Remember that all relationships are optional, even family relationships. Sure, you have a biological tie with the narcissist who expelled you from their birth canal, as you do with the sibling that took that journey either before or after you. Still, all that is simply an accident of biology, and it doesn’t mean you have to put up with their abuses. You are free to set the parameters of your life, and with that comes the option of dropping your abusive family member.
This book covers:
- Toxic parents
- Narcissistic parents
- Can there be a perfect parent?
- How can a toxic parent affect your life
- Relationships with alcoholic parents
- How to process a verbal abuser
- How to process physical abuser
- And much more
Your goal, in the end, is to be able to love yourself for who you are, your children for their beautiful, separate, authentic selves, and to provide for them all the things that your parents could not give you. You want to be mindful of your child and separate your needs and desires from theirs, focusing on them and not on yourself. Doing these things, turning away from your ego to concentrate on your child’s needs, will allow you to break the generational cycle of narcissistic abuse.

Good content. Terrible narrator.
A good listen with some relevant content. If you can get through the voice of the narrator. Genuinely sounds like an early a.i voice like Eliza.

Decent Content but Narrating is Terrible
This is an insight full book but the person reading it sounds like a robot to the point that it is distracting.

Great book, awful narration
Sadly narration is dreadful for a fab book. Had to force myself to listen & it was so disappointing as the book has great content. Change narrator & it’s a five star all the way.

Narrator is very irritating
The book is interesting with good insights and solutions. However the narration is terrible, causing it to become a chore to continue listening to it. It is headache inducing ……

Dreadful narration but good information
if you can stick listening to the dreadful robotic voice of the narrator, this book isn't all that bad. there are some good bits of information however it is very difficult to connect with due to the terrible narration.

Dreadful narration
Some useful points, although derived from other work it seems. Better to listen to Pete Walker or Dr Ramani. Absolutely awful sing song narration cannot believe this was approved by editors
